Broadcasting

The fastest way to fax one document to many recipients is to broadcast it.

In an ordinary broadcast, you send the fax as you normally would, except you just add more fax numbers. You can enter up to 330 numbers:

30 manually-dialed numbers AND

300 autodialer numbers OR 1 call group with all 300 autodialer numbers

You can broadcast using any function that requires a fax number to be entered. That means you can send a delayed broadcast, program a polling broad- cast and even broadcast to “hub” units for F-Coderelay broadcast initiation. All of these are explained in this chapter.

To send a broadcast fax:

1

Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as you would for a

 

regular fax transmission.

2

Press BROADCAST.

3

Enter the first fax number, as usual. Use either a one-touch number, a speed-

 

dial number, a call group or a regular number dialed from the numeric keypad.

4

To add more fax numbers, press BROADCAST. Then enter the number as described

 

in step 3. You can send to up to 330 numbers for a broadcast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: If you enter characters by mistake, press CANCEL to erase them.

Note: If you want to review the numbers you entered, press [Review].

If you want to erase any number, move the cursor on it and press [Erase].

When you are finished, press [Return] to return to the previous dis- play.
